Tehran's Secret "Department 9000"
[Newsweek] Mark Hosenball - U.S. intelligence has identified the principal unit behind Tehran's efforts to supply Shia insurgent cells in Iraq, a supersecret group called Department 9000, which is part of the elite Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Department 9000 acts as a liaison between the insurgents and the IRGC, the Iranian regime's principal internal-security mechanism, providing guidance and support. More recently, these secret Iranian paramilitaries have begun to help Sunni insurgent groups in order to keep the Americans bogged down.
